註釋

This new international seventh edition contains over 250,000 entries (23,000 of them are new to this edition) of abbreviations, acronyms, appellations, contractions, eponyms, geographic equivalents, initials and slang shortcuts. It covers such vastly diverse topics as computer jargon, earthquake data, English grammar and usage, international conversions, medical terminology, wedding anniversaries and postal coding. New addenda to this edition include euphemisms, British and Irish county abbreviations, dysphemistic place names, international vehicle license letters, prisons of the world and their toponyms, and much else. The dictionary is a current and easily accessible resource for locating some of the most elusive and confusing elements in our language. ISBN 0-444-00807-1: $47.50 (For use only in the library).
